There is no mystery. He’s dead and republicans are doing some on brand shady shit to make sure Massie can’t run for his seat. To accomplish this they can’t pull the plug until august 3rd

Can't wait for him to run for another election 🙄
If he was getting better and getting out they would have said so.
He’s not getting better and not getting out, maybe even brain dead, so they say nothing rather than outright lie about his condition.
Absolutely nothing will happen to anyone says says they spoke to him and in fact didn’t.
They will have Elon fake a neuro link connection and claim they have telneted inand mitch has told them how to vote.
Continuing to improve
it's called decomposition
Reflecting pool mystery solved. He's probably wedged up in DC's waterworks because they tossed him in the river too close to an intake.
You think maybe they should chop off his dick and preserve it in amber or clear resin? For later. It's a new thing from the surgeon general. I wouldn't question it. Just chop it off
I live near his KY house. Should I go investigate?
Hard no. The cons don't need an excuse to concoct conspiracy theories and engage in violence toward anyone they consider the other.
Besides, he was supposedly admitted to a Washington area hospital.
George Washington University Hospital. I agree that visiting the house is pointless, but at this point who the fuck cares about the cons.
Americans NEED confirmation before August 3rd. If there is a slimer of hope for a democratic majority in the Senate before the elections, it might just be the quick fix that'll end this administration's constant self-sabotage.
All you need is visual confirmation. Yet no one has done it yet.
Somebody needs to witness this fucker.
He died, and the government is not releasing details so that there is no possibility of a challenge for his position before the summer recess.
I hope once they're called out on their lies they face some serious consequences for it.
Oh wait...
No, it's because if he vacates the seat before 8/3/26 a special election must be held by law.
In the normal election, Maise can't run because he lost his primary
In a special election he can run, split the Republican vote out of spite, and a dem gets the senate seat.
The chickenshit turtle’s going to ratfuck democracy even in death.
He died as he lived
McConnell fucking over democracy one last time on his way out is the only way he would want to go.
The nature of his illness: he's dead
They'd put him on heart lung bypass before giving up his seat. Even if he was dead prior.
Or a vegetable.
Which means he is clinically dead.
hoping for locked in syndrome
Only if the democrats take back control and dismantle his shit. If that happens I wish him locked in syndrome for as long as medically possibly.
The only "mystery" is the date and time when he died.
Because he's dead.
Detective Fawkes here; based on my investigation he passed the night of June 13, 2026 or morning of June 14, 2026.
At least he still meets the requirements to vote in KY
LOL, "mystery".
Why don't these people send reporters to find where this motherfucker is checked in at?
Can you "check in" at a cemetery?
They’ll pump his corpse with enough steroids to kill a horse, put him in a track suit and walk him through the front door of the capital next week you watch.
I hope they saddle him up in one of those robot exoskeletons and let him flop around in an oversized suit. Maybe they can add a pull string in the back so that his aids can trigger a reaction bark when needed.
8/4/26 they'll announce he's brain dead
Cue the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.
Im fully expecting him to show back up Weekend at Burnies style. Complete with his hair stapled to his head and his shoes tied to someone elses.
Weekend at Mitch’s
Whether he's dead or not, he already did a significant amount of damage. His death doesn't change anything does it?
Why do you think the Republican cunts are hiding it?
It's because it'd trigger an election, but they want to run down the clock
This whole thing just shows us what exactly what will happen if/when trump keels over. It will be covered up as long as possible. Just like Iran's new Ayatollah, who has never been seen, even to show up for his father's funeral.
he's dead ffs, why are we continuing to entertain the obvious lies about this?
It's OK, we already have even worse people to continue his work.
Yep. A whole lot of the left - at least the online ones - seem to be preoccupied with "boomers" and other ageist nonsense (as if an entire generation can have their politics defined by the 20 year period they happened to be born in).
Meanwhile, the conservatives and their party are working to crank out people that are barely past the zygote phase and have them work in their think tanks, crank out Alternative Facts on Bullshit Mountain Media, have them installed in every institution of the land (including lifetime positions), and have them alter our government, our schools, our universities, our workplaces...
He ded.
What's the advantage of pretending McConnell isn't dead or incapacitated? The Kentucky legislature already took the power to appoint vacancies from the Governor when a Democrat won. Who wants to delay or avoid a special election? I don't get it.
They are scared a Democrat will be voted in early for the special election.
Edit: I think I read somewhere there is some worry the KY constitution allows the governor to appoint and would take precedent over the KY congress’s law.
He dead
Weekend at Mitchy's
Just retire, mitch
